Mac OS X desktop black background

A minor annoyance with OS X; by default you can’t have a black desktop background.

Even from the “Solid Colours” section there are only a few blue / green / grey colours to choose from.

This is easily fixed by creating you own .png image and placing it in the correct location (example file below):

/Library/Desktop Pictures/Solid Colors/  

Finally, I can have my nice Solid Black background:

Hope that helps anyone who stumbles across this!
